Hi all,
is there a way to use "munpack" or something similar to do base64
decoding?
Today I got a 40MB file by mail and Emacs used more than 500MB RAM to
unpack (until I killed it). munpack used only it's work buffer and did
unpack in less than two seconds.
I'm not sure why Gnus (v.5.8.7 on Xemacs 21.1 patch 14) uses so much
memory even if the file is loaded twice during unpacking. I cannot
imagine a reason for such behaviour.
Regards, Frank
